I've had botox and just had my first fillers. Love both of them and will continue to get them. I believe in looking good and fighting age every step of the way!

Yes, Botox can look bad if administered incorrectly. Imagine permanently raised eyebrows and a frozen forehead. That is called "Spocking". If done correctly by someone that knows what they are doing, it can be very natural. I have seen both.

I agree that many of these are misleading. I work in the business and was confused by some of these. Also, for those saying they don't like the "look" of Botox or fillers...if done correctly, there is no "look." I have had Botox several times and no one has noticed until I told them. My entire face still moves, it just doesn't get large creases. I see plenty of over-done people, but I see many more who have had a good physician do the injections and they look 100% normal, just freshened up.

Fun quiz but I don't really believe Botox can look natural. I was watching an interview (with a complete non-celebrity) and as the woman was crying I realized she looked odd because her forehead didn't crinkle at all. Botox.

8/12. eh it's all right, i never plan on getting botox or fillers. i prefer a more natural, graceful way of aging. i'm not interested in looking like a barbie when i'm 70.
